backdated to election night

[thornsofmalkav]

Bad news, everybody. I just found out that Zed's been having people rig the voting machines. Worse, since they're direct-recording electronic, there's no paper record like with a scantron.

I'm going to be talking to Daneel--the vavassour--about this tonight and the candidates and even Zed himself. I suggest everyone who's been staying at Zed's place should go back and get whatever stuff they don't want to leave behind right now, because I'm not sure how welcome we're going to be once I talk to Zed. We should be able to stay at the Kurgan until the end of the Jaunt, however. It can't be much longer.

Ugh. I'm sorry about this.

Gorram it.

I am goin' to tan that boy's hide when he's back to himself.

[She doesn't really mean that. This isn't his fault. But she is going to be less than enthused with him.]

Both machines?

[purseownerisme]

It's more common than usual. Don't blame yourself for it.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah, I know. EBR machines are, like, built for voter fraud. I should have pressed him harder for the scantrons, dammit.

[neverfeltthatway]

[Armin's quieter and more subdued in his response than usual, for once sending just his thoughts instead of using his voice and likeness.]

...Do you need any help?

[thornsofmalkav]

At a couple of polling places, yeah. [She'll list the ones that Seirei told her. They're all in the city. The Kurgan's machine is fine.]

[purseownerisme]

I was actually talking about the jaunt in general.

Ever have one of those moments when you walk in and suddenly the room is on fire? That's usually the end of a jaunt.

handwave that he's been to her room at zed's at least once over the jaunt

[thornsofmalkav]

I've got most of my stuff in my hammerspace, but if you want to go back to my room and check to see if I missed anything, that'd be cool. Oh yeah, and if you can grab a couple bottles of booze blood that would also be nice. I figure he owes me.

[thornsofmalkav]

Hah. Yeah. That was basically all of Nova Venezia last Jaunt. My first didn't turn out nearly as bad.

[purseownerisme]

I should know about that; I was Captain Phoenix after all.

It would actually be a miracle if the end was more calm than chaos.

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh. Huh. Yeah, you do look like her wanted poster.

Man, Questing Country spoiled me.

oops wrong journal

[purseownerisme]

I wouldn't know much about that one, I didn't seem to care after the first thing of it.

Re: oops wrong journal

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh. Well. It was my first one. And this bitchy fish had kidnapped my spirit animal and framed Zed for murder. And it ended up working out mostly okay by the end?

[someonetocarry]

Well, this might be a disaster. D'you know who he was riggin' 'em for? I'm gonna guess the vampire, but I could be wrong.

[purseownerisme]

Bitchy fish?

What happened?

[seestheworld]

Elphaba's going to have a fit when she hears about this.

[She pauses for a brief moment, considering.]

Do we know who he was rigging them for?

[thornsofmalkav]

Well, I got my spirit animal back and we cleared Zed's name.

... Jesus fuck, that's ironic in light of this jaunt.

[runawaystory]

...Damn it! I need to wrap something up before I can leave, but I'll send an all clear as soon as I'm out. Good thing I don't have much to pack.

[Public -> Private]

[thornsofmalkav]

Elphaba, yeah.

[She switches to private.]

I might tell him to skip town before they send anyone to arrest him.

[thornsofmalkav]

It was for her. For Elphaba.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah. Same. Most of my stuff's in Hammerspace, thank fuck.

[seestheworld]

...Yeah. She is definitely going to have a fit.

[thornsofmalkav]

And I'll probably be there to see it. Welp.

[seventhbullet]

Sounds like the kind of thing he'd do. Who'd he pick as second choice?

[someonetocarry]

You sure that's a good idea? Don't he got a lot of this city's money wrapped up in his accounts?

[seestheworld]

If she doesn't bring me with her, I'll be hearing about it afterwards.

God, she's going to be so upset.
